Well, this is awkward. It’s been over a decade since the last post here, and honestly, the old Jekyll setup was showing its age. Like, really showing its age. We’re talking 2013-era tooling that made me feel like I was coding with stone tablets.

What Changed?

Everything. Here’s the quick rundown:

• Migrated from Jekyll to Astro - Because who has time for Ruby dependency hell in 2024?
• Modern build pipeline - GitHub Actions handles deployment now
• Single author focus - It’s just me for now (sorry Manny, maybe next time)
• Fresh design - Clean, fast, and actually works on mobile
• Better code highlighting - No more fighting with Pygments

What to Expect

I’m planning to write about the stuff I actually work with:

• DevOps war stories - The good, the bad, and the “how is this still running?”
• SysOps deep dives - Infrastructure that doesn’t make you cry
• Tool reviews - What’s worth your time (and what isn’t)
• Commentary - Hot takes on the tech industry’s latest obsessions

The Tech Stack

Since you’re probably curious, here’s what powers this site now:

• Astro - Static site generator that doesn’t hate you
• TypeScript - Because JavaScript without types is just chaos
• GitHub Actions - Automated deployments (finally!)
• GitHub Pages - Still free, still reliable

Why Now?

Good question. Maybe it’s because I finally got tired of bookmarking articles I’ll never read. Maybe it’s because writing helps me think through problems. Or maybe I just missed having a place to complain about technology.

Either way, we’re back. Let’s see how long this lasts.

P.S. - If you’re reading this and thinking “didn’t this site used to look completely different?” - yes, yes it did. That’s what happens when you abandon a project for 10+ years.
